    General Lew Wallace - A Key Historical Figure of the 19th Century, Author and Civil War General

    General Lew Wallace - A Key Historical Figure of the 19th Century, Author and Civil War General

    General Lew Wallace is certainly most famously known for being the author of the novel - Ben Hur.  This novel was made into the “old-time Hollywood” classic of 1959 - with Charlton Heston and the chariot race. But there is so much more to Lew Wallace, with his Civil War career and a number of historically important government positions after the war.  Wallace was a true Renaissance man - with interests in many areas and had a constant intellectual curiosity. But he had some challenges to overcome, including being a poor student in his younger years and also issues as commander of one of the Civil War battles. My connection with Lew Wallace was that my great-grandparents were close friends of Lew and Susan Wallace for at least 10 years and lived across the street from the Wallace homestead in Crawfordsville, Indiana. Included at the end of the podcast, is a recording of my grandmother, telling of a visit with Lew Wallace in 1904. Most of this podcast will be an interview with Larry Paarlberg, director of the Lew Wallace Study and museum. He'll provide an in-depth interview, way beyond just dates and facts.

    Episode 12: Ben Hur (1959)

    Når gammelt nag afgøres med stridsvogne i en arena fuld af sand og blod! Ben Hur (1959) af William Wyler. Den 12. film på Morten og Thomas liste over de 100 bedste film. Charlston Heston har hovedrollen i denne legendariske skildring af opgøret mellem den jødiske høvdinge søn Judah Ben Hur og romeren Messala. Fra den visse død som slave ved de romerske galejer, vender Judah Ben Hur tilbage for at tage hævn over sin gamle barndomsven, der har ødelagt hans familie. Vi møder Kristus, en hesteelskende arabisk sheik og et utal af sandaler og statister, hvor selv Kristus har en rolle at spille. Thomas og Morten tager snak om hvad der sker når skæbne, hævn og tilgivelse krydser klinger.

    Proverbs 16:8

    Proverbs 16:8
    We are so certain that we make our own destiny. No matter who or how we worship, we seem to gravitate back to the delusion that we are in control, and that we deserve reward for our efforts. But Scripture teaches us a different lesson. Dr. Sams shows us how Scripture teaches that God provides everything - literally, everything. It comes and goes at His will. And so what matters is how we allow Christ to influence our actions for His kingdom. As His righteousness supplants our righteousness, we cannot help but proclaim His truth and freedom.
